FA OLB Jason Worilds, Steelers (update: Retiring)

Jerry Hughes stats: http://www.nfl.com/player/jerryhughes/496796/profile

 

Both are very close to each other in regards to the game stats over the past two seasons. I would be interested to see if Worilds production would increase with Buffalo (playing next to Mario, KW & Dareus) and if Hughes' production would drop off if he wasn't on a line as good as the Bills.

If Hughes isn't here, Worilds is looking like he will be available. I think he would be a good fit for what Rex wants to do. Do not think Steelers will be able to pay him.

Thoughts on JW?

The Steelers will not be able to pay him. I see him getting a good payday, but not quite what Hughes gets.

Wow

 

@YahooSports_NFL: Jason Worilds, coveted free agent linebacker, retires at 27 http://t.co/xwPynRxBs2#NFL

@RapSheet: Jason Worilds is walking away from about $7M or $8M per year. At least $15M guaranteed.

 

@JasonLaCanfora: Worilds had undergone a spiritual awakening and his calling is now in that domain. Wish him all the best in his new pursuits

Good for him that he has the courage to walk away. It's not easy to call it quits at the right time. And doubly good for calling out

Jason LaConfora's clumsy reportage.

 

@WorildsGreatest: @JasonLaCanfora "A spiritual awakening".. Really?..

This may become a trend in the NFL. With all the heightened awareness about the long term health impacts of playing football it's not out of the question to see more players cashing in early and getting out once the contract expires.
